What is the average person spending on kitchen renovations for a quality kitchen and when is the best time to renovate?

Kitchen Renovation Cost Australia
Kitchen renovation costs in Australia can vary dramatically depending on various factors. The condition of your current kitchen, size and the finishes or style. The national average cost to remodel a kitchen in Australia is $17,000.
As a general guide:
- Budget kitchen renovations can range from $15,000 to $25,000.
- Mid-range kitchen renovations can cost on average between $25,000 and $45,000.
- Premium kitchen renovation costs can start at $45,000 and are only limited by your imagination.
The difference between a budget kitchen renovation and a premium renovation are the materials, finishes, appliances, and accessories. You may have the same work completed; however, if you decide to go with high-end finishes, you should expect a high-end investment.
A premium kitchen renovation may also include:
- High-end versions of finishes like timber veneers
- High-end stone benchtops
- Adding internal cabinet accessories
- A new layout of the kitchen space
- Removal or addition of walls
Often, people who choose to renovate their kitchen run over budget because they do not allow for costs that are inevitable but may be unseen to the trained eye. We strive to minimize this situation with a clear cost and scope structure so there are no nasty surprises.
What Can Affect the Cost of My Kitchen Renovation?
Chances are if your home is older, then the more comprehensive your kitchen renovations can be. According to the HIA report, most kitchen renovation jobs (68%) include increasing the imprint of the kitchen.
No two kitchen renovation projects will cost precisely the same. When you’re looking for a professional to renovate your kitchen, take note of the following things
1. Labour costs
Licensed building professionals may seem expensive, however, the cost of using unqualified labour may on face value appear as cost savings, but this may be a false economy and cost much more to repair dodgy workmanship. ALWAYS ensure you use licensed tradespeople.
2. Cost of materials
Choosing higher-quality materials for your kitchen renovation will likely cost more. The material choices in the kitchen and building industry are vast. However, it may be a wise decision to select products that that suit your style and perform the function you would like, even if this means spending a little more too because, in the end, you may regret not going the extra mile.
3. Size of the kitchen
One of the most significant cost factors when choosing to renovate your kitchen is the size. Of course, the smaller kitchen will have lower renovation costs compared to larger renovation projects.
Remember, increasing the kitchen size and function in many cases can add huge value to your home.
4. Timeline of the project
Some types of kitchens can have different durations in renovation time. Remember that if you are offered a renovation in an unrealistic timeframe to ask yourself and the contractor how they propose to execute their timeline.
At McColl cabinet makers we provide a renovation timeline & schedule which breaks down the entire project in an easy to read day-to-day format which also lists what you should see completed each day.
